Simeone last night achieved his first victory at Camp Nou, marking one of the greatest accomplishments of his career. With a 2:0 away win in the first leg, he is now one step away from the Champions League semifinals.
As the final seconds of the match ticked away, Simeone was "on pins and needles." He waited for the referee's final whistle, then sprinted at full speed to the locker room.

He has made such moves before, and we have seen similar actions from Jurgen Klopp while he was managing Liverpool.
This season, both Atletico and Barcelona, as well as Flick and Simeone, have faced intense derbies and confrontations on all fronts, filled with tension, so it is no surprise that the Argentine reacted this way.
There will be much discussion about the refereeing, which left Barcelona dissatisfied, particularly due to an uncalled clear penalty.
